Popular online retailer Amazon is currently listing Wii U games at $49.99. That’s roughly ten dollars cheaper than rival games on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which generally appear to retail for $59.99. It would be extremely interesting if Nintendo decided to price Wii U games ten dollars cheaper than the same games on rival formats. I’m sure more will be revealed at E3 next month.
Online retailer Amazon has announced that day one pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are ten times the pre-order numbers of the original Call of Duty: Black Ops. The retailer has also revealed that pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are also 30 percent higher than Modern Warfare 3′s day one pre-order numbers. Black Ops 2 has been confirmed for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC and will be released November 13, 2012. A Wii U version has been hinted at by developer Treyarch.
Potential Nintendo 3DS owners rejoice as Amazon has started reselling the Nintendo 3DS. You may remember that Amazon stopped stocking Nintendo’s console, but didn’t reveal precisely why they had done so. You could still purchase the Nintendo 3DS through Amazon but it was via sellers. Now you can finally purchase the console direct from Amazon.
Amazon France has listed Animal Crossing 3D with a September 28th release date. Of course this could be a placeholder date, but since we haven’t had any release dates for the game thrown around for a while, let’s just hope and pray that this is the real deal. Nintendo will likely announce the release date for Animal Crossing 3DS at E3 in June.
Amazon has uploaded the North American box-art for The Last Story. You’ll notice that the North American box-art looks similar to the European box-art, but comes with the XSeed logo plastered in the bottom right hand corner. The box-art isn’t final, and could change.
Amazon France apparently advertised a product page for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and then quickly pulled it down according to Gameblog. We already know that Activision are set to release another instalment of the immensely popular Call of Duty franchise this year, but the publisher has yet to confirm the name or the setting.
When Gameblog published the news Activision stepped in and demanded they take the news article down and when the blog refused to comply Acitvision disinvited the site from a preview event for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and canceled advertising campaigns it had with the website. I guess Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is pretty much official then.
Since Capcom announced earlier this week that Resident Evil: Revelations will receive a price cut, pre-order sales for the title have jumped dramatically on Amazon. Resident Evil: Revelations wasn’t even in the Amazon top 100 prior to the $10 price cut, but now it’s sitting pretty at number twenty-one. Resident Evil: Revelations is already out now in Europe, and is due for release February 7th in North America.
Amazon has informed customers that pre-ordered Monado that their pre-orders have been cancelled. Xenoblade Chronicles will only be sold in North America via Nintendo’s online shop or GameStop. Xenoblade Chronicles is scheduled to be released in April in North America and is available to purchase now in Europe.

We knew it was going to be limited, but just how limited? Well, it turns out Amazon are now completely out of stock of the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword gold Remote bundle. I’m sure there will be a few other retailers that will have copies available for pre-order, but Amazon is clearly ‘the big one’ when it comes to the internet.
The special edition The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword bundle is now available to pre-order on Amazon. The special limited edition bundle includes a copy of the game, a CD featuring selected orchestral arrangements of iconic music spanning the history of the franchise and a rare golden Wii Remote Plus controller bearing the Hylian Crest. It’s available now to pre-order for $69.99.
